Episode 174: Secrets of the Gate

"Well, what do we do now? Do you want to continue the fight even after you know who I am?

"... To be honest, fighting you is a burden. But whoever they are, they don't throw out the duel I started once."

Though Kiel's heart swayed tremendously at the unexpected identity of Elitra, to that extent Kiel's fighting spirit could not be lost.

"Ho ho ho. I admire your strong belief. But now that I know who I am, I'm not staying here any longer. I'm sorry, but I was trying to get you out of this space."

"... are you going to give up your fight against me? I'm telling you, all metastatic spells will be rendered powerless by the power of the [weak world] fused with this space."

"Oh, really? But don't worry, there are ways to leave without relying on metastatic spells. My name is Eritra the Magician, and the escape show is your favorite."

"... ho"

As far as Kiel can think, if we were to leave this space without using a metastatic spell, there is only one way to make Gabri himself deceased, who activated [Space Genesis], or to destroy this space itself. But to observe, it would not be either Elitra's way.

"By the way, the black vortex that connects the earth to the sky - commonly referred to as the" gate, "do you know how that happened?

"... no. I never thought about that."

It seems to have existed for hundreds of years, which Kiel has also heard. But now there is no one on earth or in the sky to know more about the gate. Except for one person on the spot.

"Why are you asking me that now?

"The Gate was created by my spell."

"... what?

Kiel glances at the fact of the shock.

"I'm not exactly the one who used the spell... Now let's take a look at that spell. Spell [space-time coupling]!

Suddenly, a crack enters the space beside Elitra and a large black vortex occurs. The look was exactly the same as the "gate."

"... that you connected this space to another one somewhere?

"Boulders, quick to understand. Then I will be the curtain behind the show around here. I'll see you somewhere when I get the chance..."

When Elitra takes the silk hat of her head and shakes it left and right, white smoke erupts from it to fill the scene. By the time that smoke cleared, Elitra had disappeared from Kiel's sight.

I guess I threw myself into that black vortex in the gap that generated the smoke screen and retreated to another space somewhere. Often Kiel even remembered her admiration for the way Elitra escaped, which she could not imagine.

The black vortex just generated by Elitra is still on the spot. For a moment Kiel also thought about jumping into that and going after Elitra, but that's more dangerous than where that black vortex leads but doesn't know. It doesn't suit Kiel's sexuality to challenge another duel on someone she's already lost in the first place.

Now that I knew who Elitra was, even if I was to fight, I couldn't deny a glimmer of anxiety as to whether I could fulfill and exchange my life with Elitra without any sympathy.

What the hell has happened to Elitra in seven years? Why can human elitras use so many diverse spells? There are endless other questions, but I couldn't possibly get an answer just now thinking about it.

"Well. What happened to the other struggles..."

Kiel switches his head and looks away. Kiel's ability to perceive the signs surpassed that of the king, and even from here he had a agile sense of the four signs.

I don't even have the nerve to wait until the other two sets are settled like this. Kiel, who thought so, flew one after the other from rubble to rubble, toward those who showed signs.

When the struggle between Elitra and Kiel was settled in unexpected ways. Yuna and Mika's death fight still continued.

The battle seemed to Yuna's overwhelming disadvantage due to the one-sided effects of the [weak world]. In fact, at the beginning, Yuna was completely pushed. But as time went on, Yuna was feeling clear that Micah's sword's power gradually faded. Regardless, it's not like Micah is out of her hands.

"Kaha...!!"

Finally, he spit blood out of his mouth, and Micah staggeringly distance herself from Yuna. It is clear that Yuna's sword strike is not the cause.

"Micah -"

"Stop!!"

Micah loudly controlled Yuna, who tried to hang words.

"Don't be sympathetic... because this is what I... have decided...!!"

Micah, who houses the blood of the devil in her body, had for years been exposed to the atmosphere of the 'Sanctuary of the Sky', whose body had been irrevocably eroded. In addition to that, the erosion of the flesh had accelerated even more because it had forcefully activated the spell borrowed from Gabriel despite its inappropriate physique and lowered its own level. This is also the reason why he fell ill when he was hunting for the human soul using the [soul absorption] spell previously granted by Seal.

But Micah knew that too. If you don't lower the level to less than 300, you will also be [the world of the weak] effective, and your status will drop dramatically. Mika was aware that she could never beat her sister on the same terms.

"Ho ho, ho..."

Spit blood in agony again and cover Mica's mouth with her left hand. Seeing the red blood glued to his palm, Micah gave an empty grin.

"No more... not much time left for me... maybe five more days to live..."

Yuna was stunned by her sister's shock confession.

"Oh no, lie...!?"

"I'm not lying... because I know my body best..."

Still, Micah lays down her sword. Even before the imminent death, only the will to kill my sister will never disappear.

"But, you know, I'm afraid to die alone. So at least...... I'll take your sister on the road!!"

"Mica......"

A tremendous temper gushes from Micah's whole body. I can't help myself when my sister says she's in so much pain. To her powerlessness, Yuna had to bite off her lips.
